Текст для чтения

Concerts on the Lawn Several music students-friends of mine-have recently formed a new jazz band. I'd like to recommend that the university invite this jazz band to play some free concerts or campus. These concerts could take place in the afternoon: students would enjoy hearing live music while they relax between classes and other afternoon activities. And a perfect location for the concerts would be the open lawn area near the student center. Many students are in this area during the day, and the lawn has recently been improved; it's now a nice area where students can sit and enjoy the music. Sincerely, Tim Sutcliffe

5.Language Use

Original: Tim has written a letter to propose that the school should invite a jazz band formed by his friends to play in the noon on the lawn near the student centre. However, the girl raised several problems regarding this letter. First, she thinks that it is not the best time of day to have this concert. It would be better to have this concert in the evening because playing music in daytime may distract students from studying and reading, and the students are really burdened with studying and reading. Secondly, the girl proposed that the concert should be indoors because when the concert is held and students are hanging out on the grassland, the lawn will be trampled and the grass will die. Consequently, the lawn will become muddy and it's not good for the school.

Corrected: Tim has written a letter to propose that the school should invite a jazz band, formed by his friends, to play in at noon on the lawn near the student center. However, the girla woman raised several concerns regarding this proposal. First, she believes that it is not an optimal time of day for hosting such a concert. It would be more suitable to hold this event in the evening, as playing music during daytime might distract students from their studies. Furthermore, she suggests that the concert should take place indoors, as having it outdoors could lead to damage on the lawn due to increased foot traffic. As a result, the lawn would become muddy, which would be detrimental to the school's appearance.

Original: A letter stressed that the university should invite the jazz band to give free concerts on campus during the afternoon and near the students' dinner on the lawn while the woman disagrees. Oliver thought that she thinks the afternoon would not be a good time to relax for students who have a lot of work to do during the afternoon and playing music would be distracting. Secondly, the woman thinks that the concert should be held indoors, although the lawn that's newly made could be a good place to relax, but once the people get more and more, the lawns are likely to be destroyed. So that's all.

Corrected: A letter stressed suggested ("stressed"意味着强调,但在这里“建议”更合适) that the university should invite the jazz band to give free concerts on campus during the afternoon and near the students' dinner the student center (原文中提到的是学生中心,而不是学生晚餐) on the lawn while the woman disagrees.

Revised (140 words): The letter suggested that the university should invite a jazz band to perform free concerts on campus during the afternoon near the student center on the lawn. However, the woman disagrees with this proposal. She believes that afternoons are not suitable for relaxation as students have a lot of work to do, and playing music would be distracting. Furthermore, she thinks that the concert should be held indoors to preserve the newly improved lawn. Although it is a pleasant place for relaxation, an increasing number of people attending outdoor concerts would likely damage the grass. Therefore, she suggests considering alternative options for organizing these events to avoid potential issues.

In the letter, a student suggests that the university should invite the new jazz band to play free concerts on the open lawn. But in the conversation, the woman doesn't agree with this idea for two reasons. First of all, she doesn't think it's the best time because students have no time sitting to sit (corrected verb form) and resting in the afternoon. And she thinks that evening would be better after a long day of work and study. Secondly, she thinks that the situation of the lawn would be changed if students start hanging out on the lawn because they will walk on the lawn and the grass would be trampled and dyed trampled and die (corrected word choice). So based on these two reasons, she doesn't think it's a good idea.

Revised Answer (140 words):

In the letter, a student proposes that the university invite a newly-formed jazz band to perform free concerts on the open lawn near the student center. However, in their conversation, the woman disagrees with this proposal for two main reasons. Firstly, she believes that afternoons are not an ideal time for such events since students are usually busy studying and attending classes during this period. She suggests that evenings might be more suitable as they offer an opportunity for relaxation after a long day of academic activities. Secondly, she expresses concern about potential damage to the recently improved lawn area due to increased foot traffic from concert attendees. The trampling of grass could eventually lead to its death and turn the area into mud. Based on these concerns, she does not support implementing this proposal as it currently stands.

Original Answer: A student proposed a free concert on the lawn near the student center for students to relax and enjoy themselves, but the woman disagreed with the idea because she thinks it's not the best time in the afternoon to give the concert because it will be distracting and the student cannot focus themselves on studying and reading. A student proposed a free concert on the lawn near the student center for students to unwind and enjoy themselves. However, the woman disagreed with this idea, arguing that an afternoon concert would not be ideal as it would distract students from their studies and reading.

If it's in the evening, it will be better for students to relax themselves from the studying. An evening concert might be more suitable, allowing students to unwind after a day of studying. (Improved sentence structure and word choice)

Second, the woman thinks it will be better if it is located indoors because a lot of audience will be crowded and will turn the glass land into mud. Additionally, she believes an indoor venue would be preferable to prevent overcrowding and protect the grassy area from turning into mud. (Improved sentence structure, vocabulary, and clarity)

Revised Answer (140 words): A student proposed a free concert on the lawn near the student center for students to unwind and enjoy themselves. However, the woman disagreed with this idea, arguing that an afternoon concert would not be ideal as it would distract students from their studies and reading. She suggested that an evening concert might be more suitable, allowing students to unwind after a day of studying. Additionally, she believes an indoor venue would be preferable to prevent overcrowding and protect the grassy area from turning into mud. By considering these factors, the university could create a more enjoyable and less disruptive event for the students while preserving the campus's appearance.
